How Does Electricity Work?

Posted on Aug 10, 2016 1:20pm PDT

Our society depends very heavily on
electrical work in Columbus, but many are in the dark when it comes to how electricity actually works;
this can be particularly problematic when you decide to take on an electrical
job yourself instead of calling your electrician. Be sure to work with
your electrician and watch this video to find out how electricity works.

One of the most important aspects of electricity to understand is its inclination
towards getting to the ground. Electricity will take the quickest route
to the ground, which can be very dangerous if that route includes your
body. Neutral and hot are the two main conductors, and hot is typically
black; however, in some cases it may be blue or red. Green is the ground,
which tends to be easiest to remember. If you find yourself dealing with
a problem with your electrical system, be sure to call a licensed electrician.
